I feel like a character actress - it's where I'm comfortable.
Automatically everybody thinks of me as an actress who is trying to sing. And if I weren't me I'd probably think the same thing.
Every actress hopes to play a wide range of characters because not often you dont.
I admire actresses who are good to women. I don't like the ones who just don't like women. You can feel it. They're degrading themselves.
Most actors and actresses are performative as people.
In government, one actress is enough.
An actress must never lose her ego -- without it she has no talent.
As an actress, you get to basically be your character.
It seems like the world is so fast to move its interest to someone else. When I think about filmmakers and actresses that I have admired my whole life, I've admired their entire body of work. I have admired what they began with and what they're doing now. And now I feel like there's such a weird pressure to find the new face. I don't get it at all. I want to see women evolve. I want to see a body of work. I want to see all of it.
I still battle with my deeply boring diet of, essentially, yogurt and breakfast cereal and granola bars. I hate dieting. I hate having to do it to be the 'right' size. I'm hungry all the time. I think I'm a slender person, but the industry apparently doesn't. All actresses are hungry all the time, I think.
There are so many talented people in film today. There seem to be poor scripts, but the actors and actresses are very talented.
You can tell when an actor or actress cares about their work. It's really clear.
Cate's absolutely spellbinding. She was like that just eating a sandwich. I knew at the time I was privileged, but since she's become God's gift to actresses I realise exactly how lucky I was.
As an actress, there were so many months, years even, when I didn't get work, when I wanted to quit.
I am going to be a great actress.
I'm not skinny for the wrong reasons. It's not because I'm bulimic or anorexic or doing drugs. Compared to a lot of actresses my age, I'm actually overweight.
An actress always knows when she's hit it and mostly you haven't; but once or twice I think I hit it right, so maybe that's good enough for one life.
I was hired to be an actress, not a personality for the press.
I don't feel comfortable doing movies. It's not what I trained to do. I trained to be a theater actress. You put me on a stage in front of 2,000 people, I know what to do.
Anybody can say she's an actress. It's another thing to get a job.
